Peter Doocy Presses W.H. Spox on Data Behind New CDC Mask Guidance

‘We need to get people vaccinated, that is really the answer here’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: "Thank you. Building off your point, the vaccines work, then why is the President asking vaccinated people to mask up if there have been just 0.0035 percent of the 161 million fully vaccinated Americans who have had breakthrough case?"

JEAN-PIERRE: "Let me give you the facts about the Delta variant. Maybe this will help Peter. It spreads more than twice as easily from one person to another and it's spreading rapidly. It is, really, just across the country. And that is just the fact. Two months ago, only one percent of Covid in the U.S. were Delta. Now, more than 80 percent are Delta. And so this is where we are today with this vaccine.”
